What is your personal opinion on Daddy Myers?

Me personally, I love him. He has so many ways to be played with his add ons but I have heard that he is terrible on Dedicated servers and I hope they really look into him. He is also fun to go against aside from demogorgan and is probably the most balanced killer in my opinion, he is an example of a killer done right.

    Like his Add-ons a lot, i like gameplay changers.

    Don't like his way of activating his Power though, it's just staring at people.

    I know people like to get into the role of this sneaky Shape, but it's still just staring for power.

    I could do Scratched Mirror so i don't have to stare, but that requires an Add-on and then restricts me to a single gameplay change, while him having so many is what i like.

    Short version: Fun, but definitely not in my top 3.

    He's probably the killer with the most diverse level of play styles.

    Wall hacks and Jump scare Myers, Tombstone Myers (otherwise known as the entity's most hated build) and of course Burger King Myers.

    Is he fun? Without question? Is he iconic? Without question. Is he EFFECTIVE? Ehhhh......

    Myers in his standard form reminds me of playing a Paladin in World of Warcraft back in the Cataclysm days. It was 30 seconds of glory every time your cool downs were up, and 2.5 minutes of drooling on the floor waiting for them to come back.

    You basically setup for a EW3 and you HAVE to get multiple downs with it in order to really be effective, otherwise you're going to really hurt yourself as survivors only have so much "juice" you can stalk out of them.

    Overall he gets looped like most standard M1 killers and his height makes it very difficult to mindgame a lot of loops. His increased vaulting speed is nice in EW3 but never feels like enough to just start running after survivors through windows.

    Overall there's a reason he gets put in the same grouping as killers like Trapper. In a master's hands he can be devastating, in a regular killer player's hands he's ok, not great.

    I think he's very fun for the most part (unless I get him 5 games in a row), but I personally don't believe he is particularly strong

    Mixed results. He's incredibly fun due to how his addons works with his power making almost no Myers game the same. Sadly he didn't keep up with the times and is pretty lackluster nowadays. Would I play him? Yes. Would I main him? No.

    This. Myers has more playstyles than most killers but unfortunately because he is a ramp-up killer he severely suffers from the ruin nerf.

    Why he have such flat feet? I feel like I'm learning to walk when I play Myers.

    That being said,

    I like devour hope on Myers bc I like to stick my knife in deep o_o

    I am not really devouring hope though when survivors secretly hope for that deep knife stick, am I

    honestly, hes an M1 killer that has a few neat builds

    but M1 killers are all mostly the same, kinda boring and weak

    I like him. His add-ons aren't game breaking and can be interesting to vary gameplay and keep survivors on their toes.


    That being said, there are some things that I am not a fan of. Having the ability to instantly kill someone with a single basic hit is kind of disappointing to go against, considering there is zero warning. I'm ok with Exposed, since you have to work for it most of the time, but just being murdered out of nowhere is infuriating.

    I also have issues with a permanent 1-shot killer, since a lot of this game is based on the whole two hits part of the game.

    And, yes, I get that both of these particular things require more of his power to activate, but it is a small price to pay for changing the "attack" button to something that goes "D E L E T T H I S" to a survivor.


    Mirrors can be a nightmare to go against if you don't have Spine Chill, but that is also a risk that you just have to take some days. They are kind of interesting to go up against, but kind of predictable when the killer brings an indoors map offering.
